  Making a shampoo concentrate for dilution

  Posted by Annyeap on February 7, 2025 at 9:05 pm

  currently this business that i am helping out in makes a concentrate then they can just do a simple dilution, add fragrance/PQ-7 and then thicken it with salt solution when they have an order. At the moment the formulation being used, for a 2.5x dilution.

  Water QS

  SLES (70%) 28.8%

  CAPB (30%) 6%

  PRESERVATIVE

  Salt 1%

  The foam isnt good as after the dilution the SLES percentage is rather low. If i increase the percentage of SLES in the concentrate it makes it very difficult to dissolve and it is very thick? How can i increase the SLES percentage at this concentrate stage so i can still do a 2.5x dilution and have better foam?
